LES CORONADOS
DININTEL ET TONUVITAL 1982-1990 (MONO-TONE RECORDS)
First time on vinyl compilation of rare stuff by France cult garage band of the 80s, a record for wild twisters and well-read rockers! Without any doubt, Les Coronados is the France's best band of the 80s! A perfect mix of wild garage, offbeat influences (for the times) like Alex Chilton, Kevin Ayers, or Harry Nilsson, and French twisted 60s pop, all done in their own original and even eccentric style: savage but well read, loose but subtle.
This album compiles their first two impossible-to-find EPs plus unreleased material and original songs and covers (Sonics, Beefheart, Equals, Kinks, Spirit) they gave at the time to various compilations, from their ultra-wild, fast, trashy and drenched in reverb beginnings to their more sophisticated but still rocking later stuff.
A must have for garage lovers and literate rockers, this is the first time these songs see the light of day since the eighties! Buy it now or you'll be eternally sorry!
